The Greatest Night of My Entire Life
Prepared by VIDEO SHAMPOO
Share the night we all wish we could have, the one where you know it's special. It's a night when your face hurts from laughing, you met incredible people, and the hang over isn't as bad when you're having a Bloody Mary at Datz. We give the audience an intimate look at what Tampa has to offer with results unknown.
The video shows that adventure awaits in Tampa.

Kites let us hold onto the atmosphere.
Vlog style, authentic, narration driven.
We are going to explore Tampa and genuinely have the best night of our lives, all on camera. Then we're going to tell the story about what happened so that others might follow.
One night, all the best moments.
Like in the example video above, b-roll, or supplemental footage, will be more like snapshots. The Vlog genre format is raw and fast-paced.
Cameo's from favorite Tampa natives.
Visit Tampa Bay is paying us to go party in Tampa, so here we go: we shared a water Taxi with Hulk Hogan. We went looking for John Travolta at the Scientology building in Ybor, but got asked to leave. We went to a speak easy that required a password (it was swizzle stick) and drank a cocktail made from a hundred year old recipe. We almost got eaten by a giant yellow cobra. We played the xylophone that was also a bench on the River Walk, and met the guy who made it. We made four Uber friends and two Uber enemies.
We will never look at Tampa the same again.
